Kernowcraft Jewellery Making Subscription Box

What's in the box: Kernowcraft says each box has the materials for beginner jewellery projects, and new subscribers also get a free set of tools.

Kernowcraft is a family business on the Cornish coast. It has sold gemstones and jewellery making supplies since 1967 and is now run by the third generation. The subscription box is a small part of a much larger shop that stocks metals, gemstones, beads, components, tools and standalone kits, so it comes from a supplier that clearly knows its materials. The box is aimed at newcomers. Kernowcraft says each one has everything you need, plus a free set of tools, so you don't have to buy pliers and cutters before you start. Beyond that, the site gives few details. It does not say how often boxes ship, what each project will be, or what the commitment and cancellation terms are, so check those on the subscription page before you sign up. The free tutorials on the blog cover bracelets, sea glass projects, silver clay and bezel cups, and they should help beginners who get stuck. More experienced makers may find a beginner box limiting and could do better buying exactly what they need from the main catalogue. If you're a curious beginner who wants guided projects from a long established UK supplier, this looks like a sensible, low fuss way to start.
